Maryland Cops Manhandle a Guy For Filming An Arrest

2 years ago

A video of Baltimore County police officers confronting a man for filming them while they arrested people has gone viral. The incident occurred late Saturday and it appears that the officer first approached the man only because he was filming them. The guy was respectful the entire time, repeatedly asking the cops if it was illegal for him to be filming. He remained respectful even while the officer threatened to arrest him as well. The big line is when one of the officers tells him he just lost his freedom of speech. WARNING: The video does contain profanity; the worst part starts at 1:10.
